Still After It

Carport Skeleton

Things are coming together at the new place... a construction crew was on-site yesterday and began building our carports, which look pretty substantial.  There were lots o' heavy liftin' and gruntin' involved yesterday and LOTS o' welding, too.  I'll be glad when they're done, for a couple o' reasons.  First, The Green Hornet will be able to relax in the shade while bein' protected from Ma Nature's other perils (it'll be nice not having to brush snow off the car this winter).  Second, the landscapers will return to finish up their work and eliminate the mini-dustbowl that is my yard at present.  The landscapers began their work on Monday by planting four trees and six spiky plants (some sorta southwestern flora) but had to quit before they put in the ground cover... mainly coz the construction guys littered the yard with I-beams and other assorted pieces o' steel.

Things continue apace indoors, as well.  I went over to The Big(ger) City™ yesterday and finished my furniture shopping.  We shall have a couple o' bar-stools and a book case delivered before the morning is out, to be followed by a desk chair, file cabinet and CD rack sometime in the near future, depending on when Office Max, Amazon, and UPS get their stuff together.  Our desk still hasn't arrived and its status is unknown, even as I stopped by the place where I bought it yesterday to ask oh-so-politely "Where in the Hell is my desk!?!"  I'm gettin' pretty tired o' workin' on the laptop in the living room and my back is beginning to complain about that, as well.  We are NOT ergonomically correct at the moment.

So my office... the last remaining piece of unfinished work... will remain unfinished for the foreseeable future.  My books and stuff will be stored neatly and the CDs will once again be accessible and alphabetized by the end of the week, though.  Progress... slow but sure.
